Featured race 8 on Monday looked indecipherable on paper, but on the track, Jeff Thorbury-trained, Robby Albarado-ridden Wild About Marie was much the best. She tracked the pace of Truly Lucky, surged to the front past the eighth pole, and never was challenged by a closer, paying $10.80 to win. Wild About Marie, a daughter of Wildcat Heir, was making her second career turf start.

That $10.80 win mutuel seemed gigantic compared to many of the winners on this card. Previous win prices had been $3.40, $2.40, $3.80, and $5. This handicapper played and hit the early Pick 4 -- and lost almost $10 in so doing, so tiny was the payoff.

See no biases out there today. Main track fast, turf good, with turf rail 10 feet out.
